The stock Exchange.

New YORK, February 10. The main
principal features in the situation
at present are the expected early
resumption of specie shipments to
Europe and the probable arrival
of stocks sold for European &C
count some time back, either or. both OF
which are expected TO have unfayorable
effect on values. In the afternoon, up
on the reported death of gentleman
supposed to be a large holder of
Union Pacific, attacks were made upon
that stock aud its loss ranged up to l
ger cent. The Central Paciffc was also
sufferer at the same time upon I'M
favorable adv:ces from Washington.
The opening was tame and rather
heavy. There were some slight ad-
vaDces in the first few INMATES, but
later the prices yielded small fractions
under the efforts of the bears, though a
material decline was made in New
England during the forenoon. Some
slight improvement was made after
that tiTae on an extremely dull market,
which was soon neutI allied by the
attack upon the Union Pacific. A
better feeling was noticed IN the last
hour, however, and the market closed
steady to firm, close to the opening
figures.

Some of the Things That Will Receive Con-

ing editor of the American Banker is in the
city, arranging for the convention of the Bank
ers' Association, which meets here in October.
Mr.. Kopel says that among other matters TO be
considered will be the question of uniformity in
checks, as proposed by the Bankers Club of Chi
cago. He said: 1T will doubtless be favorably
recommended. will also the use of safety pa
per for all checks, drafts and other papers which
tempt the alteration of figures in bank
paper, and it will doubtless be recommended
for bank ledgers as we'll The perennial
silver question will also claim attention, but the
most important question for consideration will
doubtless be some plan whereby the circulation
of bank currency be secured by bond de-
posts, which will not bring the question ND
banks have per cents deposited with the Treas
urer, and those bonds having been called, the in
terest stops date of call The result is that
the banks must rest content to have the 5 per
cents lapse and bring no interest. or else go on
thu market and buy per cents at a premium
and deposit them instead The proposed
amendment to the banking laws for the
gested by Comptroller of the Currency Trenholm
will doubtless be discussed IL proposes
that where the president and cashier of a bank
are directors; there shall be- in addition. four d.
rectors that colusion on the part of president
and cashier cannot be practiced to wreck the

the Canadian treaty which will make Canada a

itself a great tenn tation.
